About this study

Official title: Multi-center Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) in the Western Population

The aim of this multi-center study is to prospectively document the clinical utility of ESD.

Read the detailed description

Multi-center prospective data recording study. All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed.

All patients scheduled to undergo ESD at the University of Florida and participating centers as medically indicated will be considered for the study. Patients in whom ESD is considered as part of their standard medical care will be offered to participate in this study. The physician performing the procedure will also discuss the study with the subjects. If the patient agrees to participate, he or she will be given the informed consent form and allowed enough time to read it. Opportunity to ask questions will be provided. If the patient agrees to participate, he or she will sign the consent form and a copy will be provided. Data will be prospectively recorded according to the data collection form. ESD will be performed as medically indicated. The investigators from each respective center on this project will also be in charge of the medical care of the patients enrolled in the study. Follow-up will be carried out as medically indicated and no additional studies or clinic visits will be needed specifically for the purpose of this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Endoscopic Submucosal DissectionOther

    Also called ESD

    This intervention is part of the subjects standard of care and is a method to remove the Gastrointestinal lesion.

Lesion of the Gastrointestinal tractInvestigator will collect prospective data on the Endoscopic Submucosal dissection that is used as part of the subjects standard of care to remove the Gastrointestinal lesion
Receives: Other: Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of en-bloc resection

    An Excision of the targeted lesion in a single specimen

    Measured: 3-4 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of R0 resection

    when all vertical and horizontal margins are negative

    Measured: 3-4 hours

  2. Rate of R1 resection

    complete resection with no grossly visible lesion defined by endoscopist but microscopically positive horizontal and /or vertical margins

    Measured: 3-4 hours

  3. Curative resection

    this will have the following: R0 resection, Well to moderately differentiated histology, Absence of Lymphovascular invasion, Absence of budding, Absence of invasion beyond superficial submucosa

    Measured: 3-4 hours

  4. Rate of Adverse events with ESD

    Early (<48 hours) and late (>48 hours) adverse events defined based on previously established criteria by the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE)

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Rate of complete remission of neoplasia

    Absence of a visible lesion and/or absence of the neoplastic lesion on biopsy specimens (histopathology) obtained from the ESD site on follow up evaluations

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection, run by University of Florida at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Peter Draganov, MD (352-273-9472, peter.draganov@medicine.ufl.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of en-bloc resection (time frame: 3-4 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02989818, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
